Critiquing Kind of Blue for not being as “bold or daring” as other jazz albums is kinda lame. I like avant-garde and free jazz just as much as the next person but that is some of the finest music created by any human ever.
what does this comment even mean? can someone actually explain it to me. i know his subreddit made the list but this list so far is made up of albums that are widely agreed upon as some of the greatest. what about this says uncultured or cultured? it's just a pretty standard list
@@joelikesthingsi feel like a lot of the more annoying fantano fans like to tout themselves as being better than the average music listener and would therefore have a more underground, less agreed upon list. This list, however, is made up of pretty widely agreed upon music and not crazy daring which kinda defeats their whole argument. Not tryna say that these albums are bad and that they don’t deserve the list, it’s just not as daring of a list as fantano subreddit enjoyers would make you think they’d make
@@slippinndippin1421 Seems weird to me to assume something about a group of people/fanbase, have it somewhat proven wrong, and then shit on them for that? lol
I honestly prefer In a Silent Way to Kind of Blue, but Kind of Blue is to jazz what Abbey Road is to rock. If you ask me 44 is too low for Kind of Blue, it's pretty much the quintessential jazz album for anyone looking to appreciate the genre.
I agree I love In A Silent Way more than Kind Of Blue, (WAYY more personally) but Kind Of Blue is just too important of a record. It's probably the album everyone thinks of when they think of jazz at this point
kind of blue is incredibly influential, but if we want to talk about pure musical intrigue, i’d personally give it to bitches brew. very experimental, very well performed and quite cohesive compared to other similar albums.
@@Jack-mq4ui Bitches Brew is a great album, but personally I like In a Silent Way the best because it finds the middle ground between the tuneful smooth jazz of Kind of Blue with the ambitious quality that makes Bitches Brew so great.
He’s going hate having 2 Radiohead albums in the top 10 as well. Even though he likes them, he won’t like them having a few albums so high. Although he’ll rejoice at TPAB being number 1, which is personally baffling for me and it won’t be there in 10-20 years.
@@kirkwarburton2277It’s definitely a Great album and I dont mind it being at 1, although I would place it a little Bit lower. I think it’s mainly at 1, cause Fantano gave it so much praise, that it kinda is a meme to put it at 1.
@@Londetonyall he is saying that melon went from saying it is the best list to saying it is the worst cus last video he said "is this is the best list?" Now he saying "is this the worst list?"
@@B.Harlou i know but in this one he says to be bold but i can remember at one point he went through one i considered bold and just trashed it, ofc it’s all based on opinion anyways as music always is
Ye that to me dosent make much sense to me. Vu and nico was doing stuff similar to Is This It and far more artistic and groundbreaking 34 years before The Strokes where even a thing. Is This It is a great album but I don’t even think The Strokes would exist without vu and nico.
I really don't understand how Is This It is really on a list like this honestly. Musically speaking anyway. I've heard they influenced a lot of other bands with that album, so fair. If it does make it on, it should go to the 100 spot. There's innumerable albums that surpass it, even in The Strokes' own discog.
psa to anyone reading this that hasn’t heard kind of blue - fantano has the most rym coded taste in jazz possible, if it is not some weird avant fusion record he most likely will not praise it to the same extent. kind of blue is an absolutely amazing album and you should listen to it. same goes for giant steps, love supreme, duke and coltrane etc.
He’s literally saying that it is _obvious_ Kind of Blue _should be_ on a best albums of all time list though. It’s essentially the jazz equivalent of DSOTM though. Incredible, but most often touted as “the best” by people who dip their toes in but never actually explore the genre broadly.
@@yoosh9034sure i agree but my comment was just saying to not be discouraged by his lack of enthusiasm and think that it is some kind of “boring” album, it’s obviously a must-hear record
This fantano realizing that he’s created fans with an Ocean sized kiddy pool of music taste, all over the map, super broad, but only deep enough to dip your big toe into.
whatever people say i am thats what im not is a much better and more complex, diverse, lyrically better, more impressive, funkier and caticher garage rock album than is this it.
It's actually all about Led Zeppelin II imo Physical Graffiti still a close second but the second half is a tad inconsistent despite the first half being perfection
There’s no argument beyond personal taste to put PG ahead of LZiv. Stairway is probably the most iconic classic rock song of all time, when the Levee breaks is one of the most sampled drum beats in the history of popular music, and then you still have another 3 or 4 iconic tracks
I respect it. Apple Music gave to much credence to the old heads on their list so this list putting tpab at 1 and Igor at 10is daring and conversational but I respect it
I personally believe the beatles albums should not be in a top 100 album maybe 1 or 2 albums in high spots but abbey road does not belong on like the #3 spot... influential is one thing and best is another and a the beatles record is far from the best although they are very influential and well written projects. Also him freaking out about the list having multiple albums by other artists and not caring about the beatles having multiple placements is biased asf... An album like The Velvet Underground self-titled is a good choice tho really gives you some charming music with nico's vocals and I'm glad it got a placement here (i mean this btw) unlike any Queen, Guns N Roses, Van Halen, Aerosmith, Journey, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, Queens Of The Stoneage, Foo Fighters, Mad Season, Counting Crows, Them Crooked Vultures (uh-oh! vultures fantano might get angry), Linkin Park (very shockingly), Slipknot Perhaps (Vol.3 was near perfection and different), Pantera, Megadeth, Metallica (Black Album is a perfect one) even a John Lennon Record... like c'mon now you're not gonna have all those the beatles records and not add John Lennon despite adding George Harrison It really is a bad list afterall i guess
@@jenconvertibles oh idk it's just a random band I thought of on the top of my head that actually has a phenomenal album named "August And Everything", practically a perfect listen might I say and it's on par with an album like Weezer's Blue Album and it's actually better... which reminds me... no Red Hot Chilli Peppers?!! Also you are NOT telling me that Linkin Park, Queen, Van Halen, Guns N Roses, Metallica, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains did not deserve a placement in here, instead of like half of the beatles discography and some very weird choices that somehow ended up here are you? We can sit here and ramble on about beatles being extremely influential but they did not deserve more than 2 placements in this, simply cause their projects are incredibly old although not dated but there has been much better out there since and before they broke up. That's all I got for the Beatles part, infact I love the beatles but their music is simplified (like for God's sake they have made songs by just playing along to each other in some cases) and is inferior to alot of deserving projects out there. And yes I'm the type of guy to write an essay about smth like this
@@ben-jerry-dover8363 well okay going through the list of artists you suggested imo i don’t think any of them have a top 100 all time album except metallica and qotsa. personally if i was doing a list like this i wouldn’t give anyone two albums but lists like these are stupid anyways so feel free to believe what u want ig
Are you sure you've atleast heard some of these artist's albums? If you haven't please listen to them... Them Crooked Vultures is actually like a side project of the singer and Dave Grohl from QOFTA The Superunknown of Soundgarden, considered one the best grunge album of all time? Queen's A Night At The Opera, A Day At Races, A Kind Of Magic, The News Of The World, The Game are also classic and each of them explore a different sound cause Queen was a very experimental band Appetite For Destruction by Guns N Roses may not be for everyone but it is damn near perfect with some of the most iconic track of that century even Megadeth's Rust In Peace... It's an album like Ride The Lightning but riffs are actually very complex because Megadeth had 2 of some of the greatest guitarists in the world at the time Pantera's Vulgar Display Of Power, Far Beyond Driven, Cowboys From Hell actually any of their albums is eligible cause they have a very distinguishing sound Alice In Chain's best album is an EP but their 2nd best is also a phenomenal one with Dirt and even Facelift Foo Fighter's Self-Titled, There Is Nothing Left To Lose, Best Of You are also amazing Journey's Escape and Departure Van Halen's Van Halen 1 & 2 are very close to as good the Led Zeppelin Albums
Kind of Blue "should be on the list like this"? No. Stop mixing apple and oranges. I'm tired of everybody putting jazz albums on the list of pop albums, and there are always only a couple of them. If we include jazz albums, at least 30 jazz albums should be on the list. Kind of Blue and The Love Supreme always showing up weirdly on lists like this one just shows you that typical pop fans know very little about jazz.
Hot and crappy, Led Zeppelin is the one band that mastered its craft and knew what it was doing the most. I feel that II, IV and Grafitti all deserve a spot
@@kousvetkousvet4158 tell me specifically which bands should not get a top 100 spot so that zep gets 3. IMO no one should even have 2. And zep didn't have that much variety. You can just pick 1. Or if you insist then you can put those 3 albums as a single slot.
Honestly, I don't get Physical Graffiti over IV. IV, imo, was when Zeppelin was at their peak. It's a great showcase of both their best blues and folk work. Robert's voice wasn't shot yet, Page laid down some of his best guitar playing, JPJ had great basslines and fantastic keyboard work, and Bonham was killer like always. Six out of eight songs are practically the band's best, and the other two (battle of evermore and four sticks) are very underrated deep cuts. Never have they both opened and closed a record so amazingly (Black Dog and When the Levee Breaks). Physical Grafitti, while I think it's close to being their best, didn't have as good of production, a few of the songs either drag on or don't have the same impact as the rest, and Roberts voice was sounding a little rough. Led Zeppelin IV is one of the cases where I think its popularity is completely justified. It's Led Zeppelin's magnum opus. (Side note - IV is probably their most "original" album. They did have that copyright suit over Stairway, but that was shoddy at best and overturned, as only the first few seconds sound similar, and When the Levee Breaks borrows lyrics but credit was given where it was deserved)
Because redditors hold little focus on anything before the 00s. They browse the highlights and pay them lipservice, but they don't listen to enough besides those highlights to truly learn the context.
@@blarghblargh I don't think it's specific to redditors. These lists just always end up as popularity contests if you're voting group is as large as this one. You get old heads who have heard all the classics and people just getting into music with equal weight in their votes. At least this one has a few oddballs like Swans and Death Grips since it's Fantano sub that keep it from being the same list as everywhere else.
Idk, I listened to purple rain for the first time the other day and I felt like it didn’t age as well as everyone says. It’s a superb album and it was extremely influential but in terms of the best I feel like it should be somewhere in the 30s maybe the 20s
Saying physical graffiti is better than 4 is such a garb take. Exactly a melon thing to do. Graffiti doesn’t have the peaks 4 has nor the consistency from track to track. Graffiti is great but it’s not 4.
